Hi all, We (Aegean) have used Jetspeed1 under the umbrella of some projects as a portal platform but as a collaborative enviroment as well. Most cases it was a demand to create database structures and use them as a repository for every resource type. Then the users of the systems needed to add data in a form based manner. Finally the system had to prevent users adding, editing ... resources according to their permissions / groups /roles.
For doing this we used the database portlet. But this meant that for every resource type we had to create a new database table, generate torque, new velocity forms and browsers templates. We also initially added some database fields for checking permissions. At this moment we have developed a "Jetspeed Module" which provide as an easy way for dealing with such cases. You can find some features/screens of our module and we would like to ask the community if there is an interest of such a module and in this case how can we contribute that.
